This ink jet PROPRINT printer works directly onto garments (T-shirt and various kinds of clothing) and moreover, can be very quickly converted to work as a Solvent Printer perfect for printing on glass, plastic material, plexiglass, ceramic, etc…

The great advantage of PROPRINT printer is to exploit the whole working area ( both textile and solvent) to realize any clothing and items beside the standard production of T-shirts, sweater and similar.

In reference to textile print you can easily realize printing on textile banners, canvas and painting, cotton pad for the mouse, trousers, etc….

CONTINUOUS WORKFLOW

The ProPrint print head moves along the whole working area, without any contact with the fabric in order to avoid any possible misalignment between the white layer and the color layer, and moreover it allows for a continuous workflow.

For example when the printer has completed a print, the operator is able to remove it and set in a new frame to be printed while the printer is already working on the next print.

This allows a continuous workflow avoiding loss of time ( for setting / unsetting of frames).

The inks used by us are suitable to print on variety of textile including one hundred percent cotton, cotton poly blends, and certain types one hundred percent polyester .

SOLVENT INK

The inks are made by a special blend on ink solvent based. These inks have not a pungent odor like the classic solvent-based inks, in fact they are safe to use even indoors and can print on any type of material, without some gripping or after-treatment products (but anyway it is depending on the final use of the item).

These inks are made specifically for this system and need little maintenance to prevent the clogging of print head.

DISPLAY TOUCH SCREEN (optional) AND PRINTER MANAGEMENT

ProPrint is very easy to manage thanks to Auto-cleaning system (also available from Touch Screen display) to prevent the head clogging in cases where the printer is idle for a long period.

Touch Screen Display (optional) to manage right away the main functions and to send the graphic file to the printer.

EQUIPPED WITH INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS AND BUILT WITH A DURABLE CONSTRUCTION

High printing precision and long term reliability are the main characteristics of this machine, thanks to it's industrial components. The positioning movement is operated through a MULTISTART HP worm-gear controlled by an industrial servo motor control system.

This technology minimizes the time it takes for the printing head to move in order to obtain an increased productivity.

THE MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH 65 MM DEPTH Z AXIS CONTROLLED BY SERVOMOTORS

Four DC programmable motors ensure an optimum level surface of the working table.

The working table is precision enginereed, in order to have the best parallelism between the printing head and the working plan.

"STAND ALONE” STRUCTURE AND VERY EASY TO REMOVE COVER

The printing group is equipped with standalone structure and its cover is very easy to remove for a quick maintenance.

Proprint printer uses special water-based inks for textile to get durable and washable clothing, without you spend for expensive and bulky serigraphic equipment. Realized prints need only to be heated with a common heat press or oven that we can supply on request.

The T-shirts are held in position during the printing due to special frames supplied with the machine. The printer can be managed with any graphics program, because then the obtained file will be imported in a powerful RIP software supplied along with the printer.

This software will allow to set the main graphics parameters, dimensions and positioning along the printable area, manage optimally the nuances and the percentage of white ink for the prints on dark clothing. On average with Proprint you can print up to 50 white shirts per hours and up to 10/20 dark shirts.

SOLVENT PRINTING

Considering its low cost, the solvent printing technology is a valid alternative to SERIGRAPHY and SWAB METHOD. ProPrint allows you to realize easily both the single sample and small-medium production. It also allows the customization of items avoiding start-up costs, using double four-color process. This will introduce you in new markets and increase your profit.

The flatbed solvent technology can be applied on various items, like for example: USB stick keys, plastic and wooden rulers, bottle openers, buttons, golf balls, key chains, lighters, medals, cups, trophies and other promotional items. You can also realize signs, plates, panels and similar using whole printable area of 1.100 mm!

When you buy a printer for textile or solvent printing, one of the main parameters to consider is the RIP PRINTING SOFTWARE (in other words the “graphics engine” that moves all your production).

ProPrint RIP software is the best software available on the market. It allows to get high quality prints, managing optimally the nuances to have prints with real effect. All this saving white ink and having the possibility to print till 3 T-shirts per time of different colors. ProPrint RIP software is also able to dose EXACTLY the white ink using the right percentage needed for each T-shirt, allowing to print on white, black, red, blue or other color in the same transfer.

An additional advantage of this kind of printing is that the garments is much more soft to the touch compared to other garments subjected to similar printing or serigraphy. PropPrint RIP software has the function for “calculation of ink cost” and for “printing times” giving to the user the data to control cost of prints.

Three are the methods that can be applied in relation to the type of substrate to be printed: on WHITE/LIGHT GARMENT, on BLACK/DARK GARMENT, on PROMOTIONAL ITEMS by using Solvent inks such us key chain, lighters, medals, cups, trophies and other variety of items.

NOTE: depending on the final use of the item, it may be necessary to use some gripping or after-treatment products.
